Benefits of technology

Enables stable bonding and high-purity purification of bioactive substances, preventing their washaway with contaminants and facilitating quantitative recovery using appropriate imidazole or EDTA solutions.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is difficult to perform quantitative purification at high purity levels using this purification technique.
A factor in the difficulty is due to the fact that when large amounts of cleansing liquid are utilized to completely purify the His-tag proteins that include contaminants, the His-tag proteins are washed away along with the contaminants.
However, His-tag proteins cannot be stably immobilized even if the technique disclosed in “Stable and Functional Immobilization of Histidine-Tagged proteins via Multivalent Chelator Headgroups on a Molecular Poly(ethylene glycol) Brush”, Anal. Chem., Vol. 77, pp.
In addition, there is a problem that this technique is not practical from the viewpoint of recovery rates of protein, because the amount of proteins that can be held is small.

example 1

(1) Active Esterification of CMD

[0088]CMD (by Meito Sangyo Co. Ltd., molecular weight: 1,000,000) was dissolved in ultrapure water such that the concentration thereof was 0.5 weight %. Then, a 0.4M EDC (1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide) and 0.1M NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide) solution was added to the CMD solution and stirred for five minutes at room temperature. The amounts of EDC and NHS are calculated to cause 2% of carboxyl groups to be activated in the case that the entire amount thereof undergoes a reaction.

(2) Immobilization of CMD onto Substrate

[0089]The activated esterified CMD solution was caused to react with EAH Sepharose 4B (by Pharmacia Biotech, Inc, 7-11 μmol / ml amino group concentration in swollen gel) using the method described in Affinity Chromatography Principles and Methods (Pharmacia Biotech) to immobilize the CMD onto the substrate.

(3) Formation of AB-NTA Film

[0090]The carboxyl groups of the CMD were activated, by adding 50 μl of a solution, which was ...

example 2

[0093]Preparation of the media and purification of His6-GFP were performed in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 1 mmol of EDC and 0.2 mmol of NHS were used to activate the carboxyl groups instead of 0.2 mmol of EDC and 0.04 mmol of NHS, and that 300 ml of a 10 mmol / L imidazole solution was used to wash the media instead of 500 ml of the 0.1 mmol / L imidazole solution.

example 3

[0094]Preparation of the media and purification of His6-GFP were performed in the same manner as in Example 1, except that a 1 nmol / L ferrous (II) chloride solution was used instead of the 1 mmol / L copper sulfate solution, and that 500 ml of a 1 mmol / L β-mercaptoethanol solution was used to wash the media instead of 500 ml of the 0.1 mmol / L imidazole solution.

Abstract

A method for purifying bioactive substances includes the steps of: causing a bioactive substance having histidine units to contact media, each constituted by a substrate, ligands which are physically attached to the surface of the substrate, and Cu(II) or Fe(II) metal ions which are covalently bonded to the ligands; causing the bioactive substance to covalently bond with the metal ions via the histidine units; and washing the media with an amount of 1 nmol / L to 10 mmol / L imidazole derivative solution 60 times the volume of the media or greater. In the case that the metal ions are Cu(II), the bioactive substance which has covalently bonded with the Cu(II) via the histidine units are recovered by one of a 10 mmol / L to 1 mol / L imidazole derivative solution and a 0.5 mmol / L to 5 mol / L EDTA solution.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention is related to a method for purifying bioactive substances.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Obtainment of highly pure proteins, which are targets of research, is extremely important in the academic fields such as molecular biology and biochemistry, as well as in the industrial fields such as biochemistry and pharmaceuticals. Recently, utilization of large scale expression systems that employ recombinant genes and host cells to obtain desired proteins as recombined proteins has become possible. A technique that utilizes so called added tags when purifying proteins using the large scale expression systems, is known.[0005]A technique that purifies proteins by employing portions called tags, which are introduced to the N or C ends of proteins that are artificially synthesized by altering genes, is known. A purification method that employs His-tag is a representative example of this technique...
